Just shoot me...
 

I personally wouldn't want to claim anyone who dated David Spade anyway! LOL

I can't tell you how many TPA chapter websites claim Sarah Jessica Parker as a famous alum. She's not; I asked her myself when she was promoting her line at Steve & Barry's. She did say she was flattered, but embarrassed to admit she never went to college.

Yeah I've heard that too. It would've been cool though because we don't have any famous alums. :(

I've said it before - while it is kinda neat to have famous sisters, I am far more impressed by the unsung heroes of our GLOs, those who make a difference day in, day out in the lives of their colleges, their friends, their families, their communities. I've no doubt Theta Phi Alpha can claim MANY of these wonderful women. We may not know their names, but they are the heart and soul of the NPC - all of the member glos.

LOL we have Key Food here (NY/LI/Westchester/Duchess/NJ), hilarious. The ones here dont scream of anything related to the class that is sorority life.

Actually, there was a chapter of Theta Phi Alpha at Catholic while Susan Sarandon was a student there. She is not a member, however.


Although I totally agree with SWTXBelle's take on famous alums, check out the post I just made in the Theta Phi forum. It contains an updated list of notable alumnae.

Last year during my run as an LC for Tri Sigma, one of my fellow consultants told me that she had to burst an alumna's bubble and tell her that Olivia Newton-John was not a Tri Sigma. And the alumna was just not having it and didn't believe her!

We all got a kick out of it, especially because Olivia is Australian - and did not attend college here in the US where we have chapters. Even better, the alumna brought up an alumnae initiation in her defense. In all of our dreams, I guess.

So I heard Macaulay Culkin was a SigEp. What the heck? Did he even go to college?

IMO, that is someone trying to make a rude comment against SigEp, considering the whole MJ thing plus Party Monster. (Not that Party Monster isn't an awesome movie but I don't think most people would want the dude in their fraternity.)

Bumping, because the Summer edition of the KAO magazine was just released and they debunk several myths that just won't die.

1. While Walt Disney's daughters were Thetas, he did not write Let's Go Fly a Kite for them.

2. The Kit-Kat bar was not named for Theta.

3. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the radio voice of the character Betty Crocker was a Theta, but any visual representation of the character was not a Theta.

4. Sandra Day O'Conner is not a Theta.

This same article made me think of how we were always told (by upperclass women) that the founder or inventor of Budweiser (or Anheuser-Busch or someone...) had daughters who were Theta's because so many of our symbols can be found on the label of Bud Light. :rolleyes:

Re: Susan Lucci and Pi Phi, I'm pretty sure her daughter, Liza Huber (Passions), was a Pi Phi at UNC Chapel Hill.

I know this is from '03, but Elvis Presley is an alumni/honor initiate of Tau Kappa Epsilon. He was inducted by the chapter at Arkansas State University.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle are either Alpha Epsilon Pis or Zeta Beta Taus. I don't know if they were collegiate or alumni initiates.

As for current urban legends of Sigma Chi: Eddie Murphy and Daniel Tosh ARE NOT Sigs.

Eddie Murphy? Seriously? A very young person who didn't see 18 year old Eddie on SNL must have started that one.

S & G are AEPi. Everything that comes up indicates they were members in college.
